Very true. And changing the color of the 100RP and 1,000RP has been up for 2 months, so this might just be closer to the trash pile since it's just ignored by the Devs.

I mean, they're fine with outright taking advantage of noobs through shady practices, yet this is a worse infraction. And since I do snipe on GTL all the time, the sniper gets sniped in this scenario. Too bad, so sad. You were greedy and didn't read and lost out to someone who was also greedy. It's not the other persons fault you didn't read.

1,2,4,5,8

Very well said. This just sets a stupid precedent for any future GTL issues and shows how out of touch a large majority of the staff is, because they never actually interact with the community and just circle in their teams.

I mean, as of now we have people being permabanned because others couldn't read, without warning, because the devs made a bad choice on colors for the vouchers. We have snipers getting sniped themselves and crying to the mods that they didn't read before verifying that they want to buy something. Price manipulation and crap happens all the time on the GTL. Poison elfbot hats got scooped up and relisted today. Are we going to fine or ban the person who did that? They jacked priced from 400k up to 700k last time I checked, they're tricking people with fake scarcity. This example is OK, but listing 100RP for 2m is bannable because someone didn't read when they bought it. "gaining the confidence of a noob and tell them their shiny is only worth 500k and you should sell it to them" is also completely ignored which is far worse than the "GTL Scam", yet here we are. And yes, that is a scam according to the actual definition of the word, not whatever nonsense definition the devs/mods want to go by. I've had "well respected" members of the community try to scam me on my alts by telling me a shiny is worth 1/3rd its actual value and "they're giving me a good deal I should just take it". I got muted for bringing it up instead. Devs/Mods protect actual fucking scamming here for some weird ass reason and make up new names for other stuff because people can't actually read. I think that's my biggest gripe about the whole stupidity they just did. I know I'm not the first person who someone tried to bamboozle out of a shiny, but they were on an alt and called them out on it instead, and I got muted for calling a scammer a scammer.

Like Desu did? Should I just talk to people in a condescending tone instead, ignore most things, lock the topic, and completely ignore the fact that people read what they agreed to purchase, and clicked yes? Then had buyers remorse because the sniper got sniped and cried because they can't read? "Free Market is only a free market if it has a few principals that are required to have a functional free market, one of which is informed consent. All parties on a contract must be aware of the terms and and conditions of what they are agreeing to. This includes the price and actual value of the item they are selling/purchasing. In these cases, there's a clear lack of consent made obvious by immediate regret upon realizing the true terms of the "contract" they just agreed to." Yea, like actually reading what the hell you're purchasing. Then clicking Buy, then clicking Yes when asked are you sure. But please tell me how they didn't know what they were doing, because they didn't read, and why it's someone else's fault that the sniper didn't read.

That'd make sense wouldn't it? Too bad we can't use logic here.

Well it's clear we don't understand Economics, maybe Desu can give us another lesson in it and fix this too.

Could all be solved by them changing the color of the item. Why the hell they picked 2 very similar ones is just a bad move off the start, and they redid them. Also

Random double post.

Also, someone just bought all the Poison Elfbot Hats off GTL and are relisting them. This is unfair. We need the devs to step in and moderate it because what if someone buys one at 700k but the price comes back down to 400k? We need whoever bought them all and started relisting them to be banned for 7 days.

Instead of the devs changing the color or icon for 100RP vs 1,000RP, they're just banning people because others couldn't read and had to click multiple buttons to confirm their purchase. I mean, players were punished because others can't read. Simple as that.

Does that say 100 RP or 1,000 RP?

Also, so if I mess up and buy something by accident, can I then get a refund? I mean, if this is how we're treating this.

Almost fucked up and bought this Charmander for 25k because I thought it was going to be a 6x31 natured pokemon, but I used my eyes instead and didn't buy it. Is this GTL Scamming? This pokemon is clearly overpriced, or is it? What does the market think? Can you please implement price caps on non-31 pokemon so I don't accidently buy something?

Effort.

Quite simple. They have no idea what they're doing and one of them or their teammate got bamboozled by the 100RP voucher.

It's not different at all. Are we allowed to contact staff when we list something too cheap and it gets sniped now? Or is that not allowed? It's such a bad decision and just makes the mods who made this decision look absolutely out of touch and foolish. And lets get back to basically encouraging people to scam out of their pokes/items by lowballing the hell out of them, I thought this is OK because the price is agreed upon? The price on GTL was agreed upon for the item, why is one encouraged and the other frowned upon? That's just poor biased moderation right there.

No, the text is clearly readable and the numbers are clearly readable. They screwed themselves over. They had every opportunity not to buy that item for 10x the cost, yet they still did. See?

So, the sniper loses because they didn't read something that was clearly displayed right in front of them. And?..... Why is this bad when deliberately "tricking noobs into thinking their pokemon and items aren't worth anything" is supported and celebrated? That's basically scamming, and in fact the definition of scamming. Is is because one is harming the richer community and the other isn't? Gotta pick a side here.

People getting ready in hopes of good halloween vanities again. Masks are up because people bought all of them and listed them at higher prices, again.

"Like we could ask ultra rare vanities' owners what kind of offers they get so we have a rough idea of a price range," And then we'll divide that number by 2 for a realistic value.

Can I gild posts on here?

I missed this one on GTL, but holy fucking IVs. Lax nature.

How many staff are we going to have in this staff only meme event? More we get, the more $ I put into it. We got 25 staff members from what I see, I'll put 1m worth of prizes per staff member who shows up.
